Independent care work, on your terms!
Recognising the vital role that self-employed care professionals play across healthcare settings, we understand the challenges you navigate each day. At Halton Care Agency, we deeply value your contribution and the exceptional experience, adaptability, and resilience you bring to every assignment.
Our commitment to transparency means providing you with a clear, professional profile that showcases your skills and experience. This fosters trust and respect with care providers, ensuring you are welcomed into supportive environments where your expertise is truly appreciated.
Here's how it works for Self-Employed:
As a self-employed care professional introduced through Halton Care Agency, you operate entirely as an independent contractor. This means you are responsible for managing your own taxes, National Insurance contributions, and any other obligations that come with self-employment.
This arrangement gives you full flexibility to choose the clients you work with and set your own working hours. You set your own rate and invoice for the hours you work. We take care of the paperwork so you can focus on the care.
You work directly with the Provider. We make the introduction and handle the admin.
